20.08.2026 – Thema für Bachelorarbeit / Masterarbeit

Ref.Nr.: FTM-2026TH-4 Problemstellung: Innerstädtische Hitzeinseln entstehen durch Flächenversiegelung, geringe Albedo, gebremsten Luftaustausch, hohes Wärmespeichervermögen der Baustruktur und Abwärme aus Klimaanlagen. Dauerhafte städtebauliche Gegenmaßnahmen wirken erst nach Jahren bis Jahrzehnten. In verschiedenen Projekten werden mobile, modulare und energieautarke Begrünungssystems entwickelt. Deren Kühlwirkung entsteht aus dem Zusammenspiel von Verschattung, Verdunstungskühlung der Begrünung... Weiter lesen

13.08.2026 – Thema für Bachelorarbeit / Masterarbeit

Ref.Nr.: FTM-2026TH-3 Problemstellung: Für die Pflege und Inspektion vertikaler Begrünungen an Gebäudestrukturen werden automatisierte Handhabeeinreichtungen benötigt. Diese sind bisher nicht flexibel und autark. Die manuelle Inspektion und Pflege versursacht enorme Kosten und ist nicht flächendeckend möglich. Aufgabenstellung und Methodik: Die Aufgabenstellung besteht darin, zunächst anhand einer methodischen Vorgehensweise die notwendigen... Weiter lesen
